Mr.. BANCROFTS RETURN.

Back From Tennessee With Enthus-
iastic Impressions of the New South.
Washington Letter to the Ne,v York Herald
Mr.. George Bancroft began his usual routine
Of life promptly on his return here He called
on the President, but as it was Cabinet day, did
not sec him, and he asked for Mrs. Cleveland,
who vas not at home. He called on Sir Edward
Thornton, with whom he was well acquainted
while the latter vas here as British Minister, and
saw him.
Mr.. Bancroft is enthusiastic in speaking of his
Southern trip. He says he went for pleasure and
recreation and to see the development of the
South and to understand the state of feeling
there, and he was delighted with all he saw aud
heard, and thinks the South is progressing in all
respects in the most encouraging manner OF
this he desired TO make report to the Pres-
dent, and he viii try again To see him for that
purpose. He believes the President is very
strong with the people, wherever he (lir. Ban
croft has been, and he is glad it is SO, for he
thinks the President deserves the confidence
placed in him. Mr.. Bancroft says he gained in
flesh and strength while travelling, but had no
time for work, and couldnot have consulted any
papers IN Mrs; Polk possession during his visit
TO her. for the time was too brief, and his
| friends were SO good to him that he had no op-
portunity to do 50.
OF Mrs. Polk he speaks with great enthusiasm
as lady OF wonderful mind, exalted character
| and most charming manners. He says she
seems as young III manner and vigOr of intellect
as he remembers her to have been when he
! knew her III Washington forty years ago. Her
husband, President Polk, died so soon after he
retired from Office that his widow has never felt
disposed to return to Washington, and has
never been here since March 1870.
| When asked as to his intention to write of
| certain features of Folks administration to
which justice had never been done in history
| Mir. bancroft would neither allm or deny that
he would do so, but spoke of three of the great
measures accomplished during that administra
tion-the reduction of the tariff. the acquisition
| of California and the separation of the public
| funds and those of the banks, in consequence of
| which the governments money was deposited
| in the United States Treasury.
| Mr.. Bancroft expects new riding horse soon.
1t is to come from the South, but he has never
| yet seen it, having conducted the negotiations
| by letter. When it comes he will resume his
| daily rides

HER FAITH IN GARRETT.
A Pretty Story of the Baltimore and
Ohio Deal.


From NeW York Letter to the Baltimore
american.
The revival of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road deal talk recalls an example of the business
grit and determined energy ola Baltimore girl,
brought about by this same deal. 1t is unneces-
sary to give the NAME except to say she
comes of one of the best families, and is a
cousin of President Robert CARROTS wife She
holds comfortable block of 400 shares of Bati-
more and Ohio stock, and she fully appreciates
their value. Her permanent home of recent
years has been Paris. When the first news of
the proposed Suy deal came to her she cabled
to Mr. Garrett giving him a sixty days option
on her block of shares at 10. Knowing Mr.
Garrett as intimately as she did, she naturally
and correctly had full confidence in his entire
willingness and ability to take care of her
stock. The days went by, and no news came of
the deal There was no time for a letter TO come
TO her, and she was too keen business
wonlan-or business girl. more correcty-to
trust the cables. SO she showed an energy and
pluck that none but an American girl is capable
of. One Friday morning she made up her mind
to run over to Baltimore and see Mr. Garrett
An hour later her passage was engaged on the
French steamer Normandie; in the afternoon
her trunks were packed. and she was ready to 20

An Explanation Needed.

A great deal of nonsense is getting into
the public prints in connection with the
statement that the President had about de-
cided at one time last winter that he would
make an announcement which would put
him out of the list of candidates for the
Presidency. The latest phase of this non
sense appears in the Washington Star, which
always pretends to be better informed than
it really is The Star says: "What the
Presidents sentiments were in January last
are pretty well known to number of public
men with whom he spoke at that time The
question of = second term for Mr.. Cleveland
was not at that time being talked of as it is
now. 1t came up only incidentally. The
matter which then concerned the President
and other prominent men in the party
was the failure of Congress to do anything.
The matter was spoken of between the
President and Democratic members of both
the House and the Senate, and regret was
freely expressed by the President at
the inaction. IL was sometimes sug-
gested that there were Presidential
aspirahts in Congress who blocked
legislation because of the fear of advancing
Mr. Cleveland toward a second term. In
answer to this suggestion, the President said
patriotically that if fear of his getting a
second term was preventing Congress from
passing legislation that tho good of the
country demanded, it might be well for him
to relieve them of this fear by stepping
aside. 1t was in this way that Mr. Cleve-
land referred 10 the question Of a second
term in speaking 60 several public men in
connection with the inaction of Congress
He probably spoke to Mr.. Dorshemer in the
same view when hc called at the White
HOUSE.
IL is very doubtful IL any member of Con
gress ever blocked legislation in order 10
lessen the Presidents popularity, and thus
dcfeat his denomination, and Il IS also doubt
ful If anybody Of sense ever suggested any.

A Mormon elder named Winfrey has just
left Scott county, Tenn, in great hurry
The young men of the county thought he
was ''too popular among the women" and
they induced him to leave by threatening
TO give him a coat of tar and feathers. He
was not of the stuff of which martyrs are
made, or he would have remained and ac-
cepted the coat Perhaps, however, he
thought that change of garments like that
proposed by the young men would destroy
his influence with the women.

Educating Washington People.

The testimony which Mr. C. T.. Hunting
ton gave before the Pacific Railroad Com
mission on Wednesday in New York shows
what has become Of some OF the money of
these roads The roads have never respected
their contracts with the government, and in
spite of the efforts of Congress have failed
to pay the interest ON the bonds loaned
them by the government. Their complaint
has been generally that they could not make
expenses and meet their interest, but there
are good reasons for thinking that they used
the money that ought to have gone to the
government in ways that they would not
like to have made public.
1t has always been suspected that they
spend a great deal OF money to influence
legislation at Washington and elsewhere.
The testimony of Mr. Huntington would
seem to strengthen this suspicion. He says
that the lawyer who is retained by the roads
at Washington is paid salary of 100000,
and is allowed $500 or 1000 a year to
be applied disappointing what the roads
want, and in educating the people to
point where they can see that what the
roads propose viii be for their interests.
AA-Ao ANANeh tLlelb UliC IOetlLS di6 tAl0DllIlS
thousands of dollars annually at the national
capital to educate the people there with re-
spect to their needs must have amused the
Commissioners.
Although Mr.. Huntington denied that the
roads had ever bribed any members of Con-
gress, it would not be safe to assert probably
that no Congressman ever borrowed money
from them. 1t is certain that both Repre-
sentatives and Senators have partaken of
costly dinners at the expense of the roads,
and it is probable that at these dinners many
Congressman has been led to do Just
what the roads wanted him to do. The
Commissioners cannot be too searching in
their investigation. If they are persistent
and skillful the chances are that they will
discover evidences of corruption that will be
startling. There is at least one of the Com
missioners who has a record that inspires
the confidence of the public in his integrity
All of them may be honest men and beyond
the reach of any of the Influences which the
roads have found so potent at Washington,
but they are not all well known to the
public.
